Public Transportation

The Alvarado Transit Center in the downtown area of town is the central hub of public transportation in Albuquerque. The ABQ Ride sponsors different bus routes throughout the city. If you live here you will definitely hear about the D-Ride bus, which is short for the Downtown Get Around. There are also a slate of other Rapid Ride RBT lines that you can ride to get around the ABQ. For out of town travel, Amtrak and Greyhound run transportation services out of the Alvarado, as does the New Mexico Rail Runner Express rail line.

Nightlife

The residents here are still abuzz about the recent revitalization project in Downtown, which was a multi-million dollar program that took a decade to complete. Anyone would tell you that the result is well worth the long wait. The nightlife in Albuquerque never used to be anything special, but now there are so many thriving businesses and there are plenty of options in Downtown on the weekend. Central Avenue is the definitive center of the nightlife scene, with clubs, lounges, bars, restaurants, theaters, and music venues clustered on the street and surrounding blocks. Downtown, more than any other area in Albuquerque, is ripe with nightlife.
